We believe in providing equal and equitable access to opportunities in education and entrepreneurship.
MENTORSHIP
In 2013, I was introduced to Virtual Enterprise International, an immersive business and entrepreneurship program for high school students. Virtual Enterprise offered me an opportunity to volunteer as a business plan judge and over the years I have contributed as a regional and state judge for the programs. I love witnessing thousands of young adults pour their hearts and souls into creating a viable virtual business and then compete in a professional manner.
Several years ago, I began mentoring Centennial High School’s VE team exclusively. It is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I absolutely love spending a year working with young adults who are driven to succeed. Every year I am amazed at their dedication to the process, the innovative businesses they launch, the creative ways they solve problems, and willingness to learn. Mentoring youth by supporting the intersection of entrepreneurship and education is close to my heart.
FEEDBACK FROM OUR FUTURE LEADERS
“Ms. Cottrell ambitiously took on the task of teaching my 21 classmates and me how to run a business from the ground up. In less than a year's time she taught 22 high school seniors how to present themselves as legitimate businesspeople and helped us place our simulated company within the top 4 in an international competition. No matter what your background or experience is, Ms. Cottrell is capable of guiding you to a state of success for your business, and you will learn that with ambition like hers that your goals are easily attainable.”
"I just wanted to first say thank you for all of your help last year. My professor in my business class had us write a paper on why we chose to pursue a degree in business, and the first person that came to mind was you. You had a huge impact on me during my time at Centennial and will always be someone I look up to. Your words of wisdom and kindness will be something that I remember forever, and for that I am so grateful. You showed me how to be strong and independent, and always believe in myself."
